WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing a FRIO® insulin travel wallet. Please take a few minutes to read this leaflet carefully, so that you understand how to use your FRIO® wallet and how you can keep it working effectively over and over again.

FRÍO® TRAVEL WALLETS KEEP INSULIN COOL AND SAFE EVEN IN HOT CLIMATES

The FRIO® travel wallet is an evaporative cooling unit purposely designed to keep insulin cool within safe temperatures of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) for 45 hours minimum, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F). The wallet can be 're-activated'/'topped-up' to provide continuous safe storage conditions for subsequent periods of 45 hours minimum for up to 28 days (one month). Note: 28 days (one month) is the life of in-use insulin. The wallet is re-useable.

Note: insulin must be at the manufacturer’s recommended temperature before being placed in the FRIO® wallet. Please check the manufacturer’s information leaflet for your specific medication.

Contents

Each FRÍO® travel wallet consists of two parts: 1) Cambrelle® outer cover; 2) Inner FRIO® wallet made of polycotton with panels containing crystals (non-toxic and non-flammable - Safety Data Sheet available if required).

Instructions - Please Follow Carefully

Note: it is imperative that immersion time is strictly monitored and adhered to so that the correct amount of water is absorbed. Over-soaking renders the wallet unusable. Should this occur, the wallet must be allowed to dry naturally until it returns to a usable size.

1. Immerse the inner wallet containing the crystals in cold water and soak for the relevant time for the size of the wallet.

Mini 2 minutes; Extra Small 5 minutes; Individual/Duo/Pump 5-8 minutes; Small 5-10 minutes; Large 5-12 minutes; Extra Large 8-12 minutes

2. Whilst soaking, gently manipulate the wallet to spread the crystals evenly throughout. The gel formed as a result of soaking should fill the panels but should not expand to the point where the panels become rigid. The activated wallet should remain pliable.

3. Leave the wallet to drain for 15-30 minutes to allow gel formed to absorb any excess moisture from the fabric (the panels will continue to expand slightly after removing from the water). Gently towel dry using a paper towel. Note: care should be taken when towel drying your FRIO® wallet after immersion in water as there may be slight colour loss from the fabric of brightly coloured wallets.

4. When semi-dry to the touch, place medication in the activated wallet and then place the wallet in the outer cover.

For continuous safe storage the FRIO® inner wallet should be re-immersed in water every 45 hours or sooner if the quantity of gel reduces and starts to return to its crystal form, i.e. crystals can be felt in the panels. When in continuous use, subsequent immersion periods will be shorter as the crystals will be continuously in gel form, i.e. 2-4 minutes will suffice (depending on the size of the wallet).

DO NOT CARRY OR STORE IN AN AIRTIGHT OR WATERPROOF CONTAINER WHEN ACTIVATED

The FRIO® travel wallet is an evaporative cooling unit - it needs to breathe and to be in contact with air. The Cambrelle® outer cover allows this to happen, enhancing the stability of the wallet’s temperature. Carrying in hand luggage or in your pocket is satisfactory.

Insulin stored in the FRIO® wallet can be transferred to a refrigerator when one is available. DO NOT place the FRIO® wallet in a refrigerator for risk of damage. DO NOT place the wallet in a freezer as the fabric may become damaged due to moisture in the gel causing it to stick to the freezer shelving.

Drying Out, Cleaning and Storage

When not in use, remove the inner wallet from the outer cover and allow to completely dry out naturally until the gel returns to crystal form. To keep the crystals separate, give the wallet an occasional shake whilst drying out. Note: the drying out period can take 2-4 weeks depending on the environmental climate.

To accelerate the drying out period, various methods can be used: 1) place near a heat source such as a radiator or in an airing cupboard; 2) hang the wallet on a clothes line if the weather is suitable; 3) leave on a window sill in a sunny position; shaking at intervals will help. DO NOT PLACE THE FRIO® WALLET IN A TUMBLE DRYER!

The outer cover of the wallet can be washed in warm water using a very mild detergent. The inner wallet can be spot cleaned by using a soft bristle brush (i.e. soft toothbrush or nail brush): dip the brush into slightly soapy water and spot clean the wallet. You can then rinse the wallet under running water without damaging the crystals inside. Alternatively, you can use a non-bleach anti-bacterial cleaning spray or an anti-bacterial kitchen or baby wipe to clean your wallet. DO NOT PLACE THE FRIO® WALLET IN A WASHING MACHINE!

Store your FRÍO® wallet in a dry place until you next wish to use it.

These instructions are only a guide. Due to varying climatic and environmental conditions around the world, FRIO® wallets will respond differently according to location. If activated and used sensibly they will continue to respond to your needs over a long period of time. With age, the length of immersion time will increase but as long as the crystals expand into a gel the wallet will function properly. When the crystals fail to expand, the wallet will need to be replaced.

The wallet has a manufacturer's guarantee of 12 months. Customers have advised us that their wallet has lasted for several years, but this will depend on how often it is used and how well it is cared for. Due to varying climatic and environmental conditions around the world, FRÍO® wallets will respond differently and age accordingly. If activated and used sensibly they will continue to respond to your needs over a long period of time. With age, the length of immersion time will increase but as long as the crystals expand into a gel the wallet will function properly. When the crystals fail to expand, the wallet will need to be replaced.

The wallet is re-usable; please note that it is in-use insulin that only has a one month 'life'.

Yes, FRÍO® wallets can be used for other medications but we strongly recommend that users of medication other than insulin ask their GP, pharmacist or the medication's manufacturer for the safe travel data/safe travel allowance of their medication. Tests on medication other than insulin have not been undertaken at this stage.

Note: the wallet does not keep medication as cold as a fridge would (2-8°C (35.6-46.4°F)), but it does keep insulin cool within safe temperatures of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) for 45 hours minimum, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F).

Who is eligible for VAT Relief?

VAT law states that you must be 'chronically sick or disabled' to qualify for VAT relief.

A person is 'chronically sick or disabled' if they either:

• have a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term and severe effect on their ability to carry out everyday activities

• have a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness - like diabetes, for example

• are terminally ill

Chronic Illnesses:

• Diabetes;

• Glaucoma;

• Arthritis etc;

• As advised by your GP/Consultant.

VAT Exemption Declaration

When ordering on-line, once you are in the check-out and payment part of the process, you have the option to complete the VAT exemption certificate on-line. Completing the certification on-line ensures that you are exempt from VAT of 20%. If you forget to complete this information, you will be sent a form with your order that requires completion and returning to FRÍO® UK Limited.

We cannot advise you on the use of FRÍO® travel wallets in cold and freezing or other extreme conditions because tests in these conditions have not been carried out. Any testimonials we have received on the use of FRÍO® products in cold and freezing and other extreme temperatures are from individuals who have simply reported back on their use of the wallets in these conditions – we must point out that we have not recommended the product as safe to use in extreme temperatures or environments.

All we can say, is that the wallets have been used by professional mountaineers in extreme conditions, and they have said the FRIO® wallet prevented the insulin from freezing during their trips, please see the section "What Customers Say".

We would recommend that you consult the manufacturer of your medication for advice on insultaing it against freezing temperatures.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): the crystals contained in the FRÍO® wallet conform to the relevant British Safety Standards - please see the link to MSDS info regarding the crystals: http://watersorb.com/msds/pifl3005K4msds.htm

Please paste the below website address in to your browser to see official UK relevant information:

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Publictransport/AirtravelintheUK/DG_078179

Travellers are permitted to carry 'essential medical equipment' - gel cooling packs - for the transportation of medicines on board aircraft. An activated FRÍO® wallet, which is an evaporative cooling unit, once activated, is gel rather than liquid and would be classified on the direct.gov.uk website as ‘essential medical equipment’. The direct.gov website does suggest checking with the airline and the airport in advance of travel and also to travel with a doctor's letter or prescription as well as the original packaging of the medication. Note the packaging itself does not need to be in the wallet, it can be kept elsewhere on your person.

We suggest, once on board, that the wallet is placed in the pocket of the seat in front of you (in the seat pocket where the magazines and flight safety info is stored) where it will have access to air circulating around it. On long-haul trips turn the bag periodically throughout the flight.

Whilst we can advise that the airports and airlines are well used to diabetic travellers carrying FRÍO® wallets, it is best to check ahead of travel. What is incorrectly suggested is that a cooling gel pack (your FRÍO® wallet) can go in ‘hold’ luggage – insulin should not be transported in your suitcase as it may freeze in the hold – it should be carried in your hand luggage.

The direct.gov.uk web site states:

Essential medical equipment

You are allowed to bring medical equipment if it is essential for your journey. The equipment will be screened separately and must be accompanied by supporting documentation from a qualified medical professional, such as a letter from your doctor.

Letter from GP: we always recommend that FRÍO® wallet users take a letter from their GP (or a prescription) stating their requirement to carry insulin. When you check in, show the check-in clerk your wallet and your GP's letter or your prescription.

Note: your GP may charge for the letter – so ask for a ‘generic’ type letter – that is, a letter that is reusable for other trips rather than a date specific letter that may not be re-useable.

Your FRIO® Drinks Cooler can be used, and re-used, over and over again by simply activating with cold water.

Instructions – Please Follow Carefully

1.Immerse your FRIO® Drinks Cooler in cold water for 6-9 minutes, then remove.

Note: the crystals within the cooler swell in to gel once activated with water. Over-soaking will cause the cooler to overswell and your drink may not fit inside the cooler.

2.Allow any excess water to drain away. Dry with a paper towel. Insert your pre-chilled drink straight from the ‘fridge.

Your drink will now stay cool for hours.

When not in use, allow the cooler to completely dry out naturally until the gel returns to crystal form. Store in a dry place.

BIENVENUE

Nous vous remercions d’avoir fait l’achat d’une pochette de voyage pour insuline FRIO®. Veuillez prendre le temps de lire attentivement cette notice, pour que vous compreniez comment utiliser votre pochette FRIO® de manière efficace et durable.

LES POCHETTES DE VOYAGE FRÍO® PROTEGENT VOTRE INSULINE DE LA CHALEUR MEME SOUS LES CLIMATS LES PLUS CHAUDS

La pochette de voyage FRIO® est une unité de refroidissement par évaporation conçue dans le but de conserver l’insuline au frais pendant 45 heures à des températures sûres comprises entre 18 et 26°C (64,4-78,8°F), même dans une température ambiante constante de 37,8°C (100°F). La pochette peut être réactivée/rechargée afin de fournir des conditions de stockage sûres continues pour des périodes ultérieures de 45 heures allant jusqu’à 28 jours (un mois). Note: 28 jours (un mois) est la vie de l'insuline en cours d'utilisation. La pochette est réutilisable.

Remarque : l’insuline doit être à la température recommandée par le fabricant avant d’être placée dans la pochette FRIO®. Veuillez consulter la notice du fabricant pour votre médicament particulier.

Contenu

Chaque pochette de voyage FRIO® est constituée de deux parties : 1) La housse extérieure en Cambrelle® ; 2) La poche intérieure FRIO® en polycoton contenant des cristaux (non toxiques et ininflammables - Fiche signalétique disponible au besoin).

Instructions – Veuillez suivre attentivement

Remarque : Il est impératif de contrôler et de suivre strictement le temps d’immersion pour que la bonne quantité d’eau soit absorbée. Laisser tremper la pochette trop longtemps la rend inutilisable. Dans le cas où cela se produirait, il faut laisser la pochette sécher de façon naturelle jusqu’à ce qu’elle retrouve une taille utilisable.

1. Immerger la poche intérieure contenant les cristaux dans de l’eau froide et laisser tremper aussi longtemps qu’il le faut pour la taille de la poche.

Mini 2 minutes; Extra-Petite 5 minutes; Individuelle/Duo/Pompe 5-8 minutes ; Petite 5-10 minutes ; Large 5-12 minutes ; Extra-Large 8-12 minutes

2. Lorsque vous la faites tremper, manipulez doucement la pochette afin de disperser les cristaux de manière uniforme. Le gel qui se forme à la suite de l’immersion devrait remplir les panneaux mais ne devrait pas se répandre jusqu’à rendre les panneaux rigides. La pochette activée devrait rester pliable.

3. Laisser égoutter la pochette pendant 15 à 30 minutes pour permettre au gel formé d’absorber l’excès d’humidité du tissu (les panneaux continueront à s’agrandir légèrement une fois la pochette retirée de l’eau). Sécher doucement à l’aide d’un essuie-tout. Remarque : la pochette FRIO® doit être séchée avec soin après l’immersion dans l’eau car il est possible que les pochettes ayant un tissu vivement coloré perdent un peu de leur couleur.

4. Lorsque la pochette est à moitié sèche au toucher, placer le médicament dans la pochette activée et puis placer la pochette dans la housse extérieure.

Pour un stockage sûr et continu, la poche intérieure FRIO® devrait être immergée de nouveau dans l’eau toutes les 45 heures, ou avant si la quantité de gel diminue et commence à se cristalliser, c’est-à-dire lorsque que vous pouvez sentir les cristaux dans les panneaux. Lorsque la pochette est utilisée de manière continue, les périodes d’immersion ultérieures seront plus courtes, car les cristaux seront continuellement en forme de gel, cela veut dire que 2 à 4 minutes suffiront (en fonction de la taille de la pochette).

NE PAS TRANSPORTER OU CONSERVER DANS UN RÉCIPIENT HERMÉTIQUE OU ÉTANCHE LORSQU’ELLE EST ACTIVÉE

La pochette de voyage FRIO® est une unité de refroidissement par évaporation – elle doit respirer et être en contact avec l’air. La housse extérieure Cambrelle® permet que cela se produise, en améliorant la stabilité de la température de la pochette. Transporter la pochette dans un bagage à main ou dans votre poche est approprié. L’insuline stockée dans la pochette FRIO® peut être transférée dans un réfrigérateur lorsqu’il y en a un de disponible. NE PAS placer la pochette FRIO® dans un réfrigérateur, cela risquerait de l’abîmer. NE PAS placer la pochette dans un congélateur, car, en raison de l’humidité dans le gel, le tissu risquerait de se coller aux étagères du congélateur et de s’abîmer.

Séchage, nettoyage et rangement

Lorsqu’elle n’est pas utilisée, retirer la poche intérieure de la housse extérieure et laisser sécher totalement à l’air libre jusqu’à ce que le gel retourne à l’état de cristaux. Pour maintenir les cristaux séparés, secouer la pochette de temps en temps pendant qu’elle sèche. Remarque : la période de séchage peut durer de 2 à 4 semaines selon le climat.

Afin d’accélérer la période de séchage, diverses méthodes peuvent être utilisées : 1) placer près d’une source de chaleur, telle qu’un radiateur ou dans un placard séchoir ; 2) étendre la pochette sur une corde à linge si le temps le permet ; 3) laisser sur un rebord de fenêtre au soleil ; secouer par intervalles sera utile. NE PAS PLACER LA POCHETTE FRIO® DANS UN SECHE-LINGE.

La housse extérieure de la pochette peut être lavée dans de l’eau chaude avec un détergent très doux. Vous pouvez nettoyer les taches de la poche intérieure en utilisant une brosse en soies douce (c’est-à-dire une brosse à dents ou une brosse à ongles douces) : tremper la brosse dans de l’eau légèrement savonneuse et nettoyer les taches de la poche. Vous pouvez ensuite rincer la poche sous l’eau sans abîmer les cristaux à l’intérieur. Sinon, vous pouvez utiliser un pulvérisateur nettoyant antibactérien sans javel ou une lingette pour bébé ou pour la cuisine antibactérienne pour nettoyer votre pochette. NE PAS PLACER LA POCHETTE FRIO® DANS UNE MACHINE À LAVER !

Ranger votre pochette FRIO® dans un endroit sec jusqu’à votre prochaine utilisation.

Ces instructions ne constituent qu’un guide. En raison de conditions climatiques et environnementales variables dans le monde, les pochettes FRIO® agiront de façon différente selon le lieu. Si elles sont activées et utilisées de manière raisonnable elles continueront à satisfaire à vos besoins pendant très longtemps. Avec l’âge, la période d’immersion augmentera mais tant que les cristaux se transforment en gel la pochette fonctionnera correctement. Lorsque les cristaux ne se transforment plus, la pochette devra être remplacée.

BEM-VINDO

Agradecemos-lhe por ter adquirido a Bolsa para transportar insulina FRIO®. Despenda alguns minutos a ler este folheto com atenção, e saiba como utilizar a sua carteira FRIO® e como mantê-la a funcionar eficientemente por muito tempo.

AS BOLSAS FRIO® MANTÊM A INSULINA FRESCA E SEGURA MESMO EM CLIMAS QUENTES

A Bolsa para Transportar Insulina FRIO® é uma unidade evaporadora de refrigeração concebida especificamente para manter a insulina fresca dentro de temperaturas de segurança 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) por 45 horas consecutivas, mesmo a temperaturas exteriores constantes de 37.8°C (100°F). A Bolsa pode ser “reactivada/reabastecida” para proporcionar condições de conservação de uma forma segura e continuada por períodos posteriores a 45 horas e até 28 dias.

Nota: a insulina deverá estar à temperatura recomendada pelo fabricante antes de ser colocada na Bolsa FRIO®. Verifique o folheto informativo do fabricante para informações sobre a sua medicação.

Conteúdo

A Bolsa de viagem FRIO® é formada por duas partes: 1) Revestimento exterior em Cambrelle®; 2) Interior da Bolsa FRIO® em poli-algodão cujas paredes contêm cristais (não tóxicos e não inflamáveis – Folha Informativa com Dados de Segurança disponível, quando solicitada).

Instruções – Seguir com atenção

Nota: é crucial que o tempo de submersão seja rigorosamente monitorizado e cumprido para que a quantidade correcta de água seja absorvida. A capacidade de resposta da Bolsa fica sem efeito se esta estiver demasiado ensopada. Caso isso ocorra, a Bolsa deverá secar naturalmente até regressar a um estado seguro de utilização.

1.Mergulhe a Bolsa interior (que contém cristais) em água fria e deixe que a mesma absorva água pelo tempo necessário,(abaixo indicado) consoante o seu tamanho:.

Individual/Duplo/Bomba 5-8 minutos; Pequeno 5-10 minutos; Grande 5-12 minutos; Extra-Grande 8-12 minutos

2. Ao molhar a Bolsa, massaje-a /aperte-a com cuidado para espalhar os cristais uniformemente. O gel formado, como resultado da submersão, deverá preencher as paredes da Bolsa interior, mas não deverá expandir-se de tal forma que as paredes fiquem rígidas. A Bolsa activada deverá, ainda assim, ser maleável.

3. Deixe a Bolsa escorrer por 15-30 minutos para permitir que o gel formado absorva qualquer excesso de humidade do tecido (os cristais irão continuar a expandir-se ligeiramente depois retirar a Bolsa da água). Limpe-a com cuidado usando papel de cozinha ou um pano seco. Nota: a Bolsa FRIO® deverá ser limpa cuidadosamente após ter sido retirada da água, para evitar que desbote a cor do tecido das Bolsas com cores mais vivas.

4. Quando a Bolsa activada estiver meio húmida ao toque, coloque a medicação e, em seguida, meta a Bolsa interior dentro da / Bolsa exterior em Cambrelle.

Para uma conservação segura e contínua, a Bolsa interior FRIO® deverá ser mergulhada em água de 45 em 45 horas mas tal poderá acontecer antes, se a quantidade de gel reduzir, e os cristais regressarem novamente à sua forma primitiva, ou seja, logo que se sinta o granulado dos cristais nas paredes da Bolsa. Se utilizada de forma continuada os períodos de submersão posteriores serão mais curtos, uma vez que os cristais estarão continuamente sob a forma de gel; 2-4 minutos de submersão serão suficientes (dependendo do tamanho da Bolsa).

NÃO TRANSPORTE OU CONSERVE A BOLSA EM EMBALAGENS/SACOS IMPERMEÁVEIS OU À PROVA DE ÁGUA QUANDO ACTIVADA

A Bolsa para Transportar InsulinaFRIO® é uma unidade evaporadora de refrigeração – precisa de respirar e estar em contacto com o ar. O revestimento exterior em Cambrelle® permite que isso ocorra e melhore a estabilidade da temperatura da Bolsa. É suficiente transportá-la na bagagem de mão ou no bolso.

A insulina conservada na Bolsa FRIO® pode ser transferida para um frigorífico caso haja um disponível. NÃO COLOQUE a Bolsa FRIO® num frigorífico, pois poderá ficar danificada. NÃO COLOQUE a Bolsa num congelador; o tecido poderá ficar danificado, uma vez que a humidade do gel poderá fazer com que o tecido da Bolsa se cole às prateleiras do congelador.

Secar, limpar e guardar

Quando não estiver a ser utilizada, retire a Bolsa interior do revestimento exterior em Cambrelle e deixe secar naturalmente até o gel regressar à forma de cristais. Para manter os cristais separados, sacuda/agite a Bolsa de vez em quando enquanto seca. Nota: o período de secagem poderá demorar 2-4 semanas, dependendo do clima ambiental.

Existem vários métodos para acelerar o período de secagem: 1) colocá-la junto a uma fonte de calor, como um radiador ou um armário secador; 2) pendurá-la na corda da roupa, se o clima for adequado; 3) mantê-la à janela em contacto com o sol e sacudindo-a em intervalos regulares. NÃO COLOQUE A BOLSA FRIO® NO SECADOR DE ROUPA!

O revestimento exterior da Bolsa poderá ser lavado com água quente e um detergente suave. O interior da Bolsa poderá ser limpo com uma escova com pelos suaves em cerda (como uma escova de dentes ou de unhas): mergulhe a escova em água com um pouco de sabão e limpe a Bolsa. Posteriormente poderá enxaguar a Bolsa em água corrente sem danificar os cristais. Em alternativa, limpe a Bolsa com um spray antibacteriano (sem lixívia) ou papel de cozinha antibacteriano ou uma toalhita de bebé. NÃO COLOQUE A BOLSA FRIO® NA MÁQUINA DE LAVAR ROUPA!

Guarde a Bolsa FRIO® num lugar seco até à próxima utilização.

Estas instruções servem apenas de orientação. Devido às diferentes condições climatéricas e ambientais em todo o mundo, a Bolsa FRIO® poderá responder de forma diferente de acordo com o meio ambiente em que se encontre. Se activada e usada com sensatez, a Bolsa continuará a ir ao encontro das suas necessidades por um longo período de tempo. Com o envelhecimento, a duração do tempo de submersão aumenta, mas se os cristais continuarem a expandir-se em gel, a mesma funcionará perfeitamente. Quando os cristais deixarem de se expandir, a carteira deverá ser substituída.

BIENVENIDO

Gracias por comprar una cartera de viaje para insulina FRÍO®. Por favor tómese unos minutos para leer este folleto atentamente para comprender cómo usar su cartera FRÍO® y hacerla funcionar de forma efectiva una y otra vez.

LAS CARTERAS DE VIAJE PARA INSULINA FRÍO® MANTIENEN LA INSULINA FRÍA Y SEGURA INCLUSO EN CLIMAS CÁLIDOS

La cartera de viaje para insulina FRÍO® es una unidad de refrigeración evaporativa diseñada específicamente para mantener la insulina fría en temperaturas seguras entre 18-26º ((64,4-78,8°F) durante 45 horas, incluso en una temperatura medioambiental constante de 37,8º (100ºF). La cartera se puede ‘reactivar’/’recargar’ para ofrecer continuamente condiciones de almacenamiento seguras para períodos posteriores de 45 horas durante un máximo de 28 días (un mes). Nota: 28 días (un mes) es la vida de la insulina en uso. La cartera es re-utilizable.

Nota: La insulina debe estar a la temperatura recomendada por el fabricante antes de colocarla en la cartera FRÍO®. Por favor consulte el folleto informativo del fabricante para su medicamento específico.

Contenidos

Cada cartera de viaje FRÍO® consiste en dos partes: 1) una cubierta exterior Cambrelle®; 2) una cartera interior FRÍO® hecha de algodón poliéster con paneles que contienen cristales (no-tóxicos e incombustibles – Hoja informativa sobre seguridad disponible si es necesaria).

Instrucciones – Por favor seguir con atención

Nota: Es imperativo controlar y seguir estrictamente el tiempo de inmersión para que se absorba la cantidad correcta de agua. Mojar la cartera en exceso hace que sea inutilizable. En caso de que esto ocurriera, hay que dejar secar la cartera de forma natural hasta que vuelva a un tamaño utilizable.

1. Sumerja la cartera interior que contiene los cristales en agua fría y déjela a remojo durante el tiempo apropiado para el tamaño de la cartera.

Mini 2 minutos; Extra Pequeña 5 minutos; Individual/Duo/Pump 5-8 minutos; Pequeña 5-10 minutos; Grande 5-12 minutos; Extra grande 8-12 minutos

2. Mientras está a remojo, manipule la cartera con cuidado para esparcir los cristales uniformemente. El gel que se forma como resultado de poner la cartera a remojo debe llenar los paneles pero no expandirse hasta el punto en que los paneles se vuelvan rígidos. La cartera activada debe permanecer flexible.

3. Deje escurrir la cartera durante 15-30 minutos para que el gel formado absorba el exceso de humedad de la tela (los paneles continuarán expandiéndose ligeramente después de sacar la cartera del agua). Seque la cartera con cuidado con una toallita de papel. Nota: se debe tener cuidado al secar la cartera FRÍO® después de la inmersión en el agua ya que es posible que las carteras con tela de colores brillantes pierdan algo de color.

4. Cuando la cartera esté medio seca, coloque la medicación en la cartera activada y después meta la cartera en la cubierta exterior.

Para almacenarla de forma segura y continuada la cartera interior FRÍO® deber volver a sumergirse en agua cada 45 horas o antes si la cantidad de gel disminuye y empieza a cristalizarse, por ejemplo, los cristales se pueden sentir en los paneles. Cuando se usa de forma continuada, los periodos posteriores de inmersión serán más cortos ya que los cristales estarán continuamente en forma de gel, por ejemplo, 2-4 minutos serán suficientes (dependiendo del tamaño de la cartera).

NO LLEVE O GUARDE LA CARTERA EN UN CONTENEDOR O IMPERMEABLE SI ESTÁ ACTIVADA

La cartera de viaje de insulina FRÍO® es una unidad de refrigeración evaporativa – necesita respirar y estar en contacto con el aire. La cubierta exterior Cambrelle® lo hace posible, mejorando la estabilidad de la temperatura de la cartera. Llevar la cartera en la maleta de mano o en el bolsillo es apropiado.

La insulina guardada en la cartera FRÍO® puede trasladarse al frigorífico cuando haya uno disponible. NO ponga la cartera FRÍO® en el frigorífico por riesgo de daños. NO ponga la cartera en el congelador ya que la tela puede sufrir daños por la humedad del gel y quedarse pegada a las baldas del congelador.

Secado, limpieza y almacenamiento

Cuando no esté en uso, saque la cartera interior de la cubierta exterior y deje que se seque completamente de forma natural hasta que el gel vuelva a cristalizarse. Para mantener los cristales separados, agite la cartera ocasionalmente mientras se seca. Nota: el periodo de secado puede tomar hasta 2-4 semanas dependiendo del clima.

Para acelerar el periodo de secado, puede usar varios métodos: 1) coloque la cartera cerca de una fuente de calor, como un radiador o un armario ventilado; 2) cuelgue la cartera en el tendedero si las condiciones meteorológicas lo permiten; 3) déjela al sol en el alféizar de la ventana; agitar a intervalos será provechoso. ¡NO META LA CARTERA FRÍO® EN LA SECADORA!

La cubierta exterior de la cartera se puede lavar con agua templada usando un detergente suave. Puede lavar las partes sucias de la cartera interior con un cepillo de cerdas suaves (por ejemplo, un cepillo de dientes suave o un cepillo para las uñas): Meta el cepillo en agua con un poco de jabón y limpie las partes sucias de la cartera. Después puede aclarar la cartera con agua del grifo sin dañar los cristales de dentro. Alternativamente, puede usar un spray antibacteriano sin lejía o una toallita antibacteriana mojada para bebés o de cocina para limpiar la cartera. ¡NO META LA CARTERA FRÍO® EN LA LAVADORA!

Guarde la cartera FRÍO® en un lugar seco hasta que desee volverla a usar.

Estas instrucciones son sólo una guía. Debido a las variables condiciones climáticas y medioambientales del mundo, las carteras FRÍO® actuarán de forma diferente dependiendo del lugar. Si se activan y se usan con sensatez continuarán respondiendo a sus necesidades durante un largo periodo de tiempo. Con la edad, el tiempo de inmersión aumentará pero siempre y cuando los cristales se conviertan en gel la cartera funcionará correctamente. Cuando los cristales dejen de expandirse habrá que reemplazar la cartera.

स्वागतम

FRIO® इंसुलिन यात्रा बटुआ ख़रीदने के लिए धन्यवाद। कृपया कुछ मिनट निकालकर इस सूचना-पत्र को ध्यान से पढ़ें, ताकि आप समझ सकें कि अपने FRIO® बटुए का इस्तेमाल कैसे करें और आप इसका रखरखाव कैसे कर सकते हैं ताकि यह ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा समय तक प्रभावी रूप से काम करता रहे।

FRIO® यात्रा बटुआ इंसुलिन को गरम मौसम में भी ठंडा और सुरक्षित रखता है

FRIO® यात्रा बटुआ बाष्पीकरण कूलिंग यूनिट है जिसे इंसुलिन को 37.8°C (100°F) के पर्यावरण-संबंधी सतत तापमान में भी 45 घंटे तक 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) के सुरक्षित तापमान के भीतर रखने के प्रयोजन के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है। बटुए को 28 दिनों तक 45 घंटे की और अवधि के लिए निरंतर सुरक्षित संग्रहण की स्थिति प्रदान करने के लिए 'फिर से सक्रिय'/'टॉप-अप' अप किया जा सकता है।

टिप्पणी: FRIO® बटुए में रखे जाने से पहले इंसुलिन निर्माता की सिफ़ारिश के तापमान पर होनी चाहिए। अपनी विशिष्ट दवा के लिए कृपया निर्माता के सूचना-पत्र की जाँच करें।

सामग्री

प्रत्येक FRIO® यात्रा बटुए के दो हिस्से होते हैं: 1) Cambrelle® बाहरी कवर; 2) भीतरी FRIO® बटुआ जो पॉलीकॉटन से बना होता है और उसमें क्रिस्टल के पैनल होते हैं (गैर-विषैला और गैर-ज्वलनशील - ज़रूरत होने पर सुरक्षा डेटा शीट उपलब्ध है)।

निर्देश - कृपया सावधानी से पालन करें

टिप्पणी: यह ज़रूरी है कि निमज्जन (डुबोने के) समय पर सख़्ती से नज़र रखी जाए और पालन किया जाए ताकि पानी की सही मात्रा अवशोषित हो। ज़्यादा भीगने से बटुआ इस्तेमाल के योग्य नहीं रह जाता। अगर ऐसा हो जाए, तो बटुए को इस्तेमाल-योग्य आकार में लौटने तक स्वाभाविक रूप से सूखने दिया जाना चाहिए।

1. क्रिस्टल युक्त भीतरी बटुए को ठंडे पानी में डुबोएँ और बटुए के आकार के अनुसार समय तक भिगोएँ।

व्यक्तिगत/जोड़ी/पंप 5-8 मिनट; छोटा 5-10 मिनट; बड़ा 5-12 मिनट; अतिरिक्त बड़ा 8-12 मिनट

2. भिगोने के समय, बटुए को कोमलता से हिलाएँ-डुलाएँ ताकि क्रिस्टल पूरे स्थान में समान रूप से वितरित हो जाएँ। भिगोने से बनने वाले जैल से पैनल भर जाना चाहिए, लेकिन इसका इतना विस्तार नहीं होना चाहिए कि पैनल कठोर हो जाए। सक्रिय बटुआ लचीला रहना चाहिए।

3. बटुए को 15-30 मिनट तक छोड़ दें ताकि उसका पानी बह जाए और निर्मित जैल कपड़े से कोई अतिरिक्त नमी सोख ले (पानी से निकालने के बाद पैनल का थोड़ा-सा विस्तार जारी रहेगा)। कागज के तौलिये का इस्तेमाल करके कोमलता से सुखाएँ। टिप्पणी: पानी में डुबोने के बाद अपने FRIO® बटुए को तौलिये से सुखाते समय ध्यान रखा जाना चाहिए, क्योंकि चमकीले रंग के बटुए के कपड़े का रंग थोड़ा उड़ सकता है।

4. जब छूने पर यह आधा सूखा लगे, तो सक्रिय बटुए में दवा रख दें और फिर बटुआ बाहरी कवर में रख दें।

निरंतर सुरक्षित संग्रहण के लिए FRIO® के भीतरी बटुए को हर 45 घंटे में या जल्दी अगर जैल की मात्रा कम हो जाती है और वह अपने क्रिस्टल रूप में लौटना शुरू हो जाती है यानी पैनल में क्रिस्टल महसूस किए जा सकते हैं, फिर से पानी में डुबोना चाहिए। निरंतर इस्तेमाल में रहने की स्थिति में, बाद में पानी में डुबोने का समय कम हो जाएगा क्योंकि क्रिस्टल लगातार जैल रूप में रहेंगे, यानी 2-4 मिनट काफ़ी होंगे (जो बटुए के आकार पर निर्भर करेगा)।

सक्रिय होने पर एयरटाइट या जल-रोधी पात्र में न ले जाएँ या संग्रह न करें

FRIO® यात्रा बटुआ वाष्पीकरण कूलिंग यूनिट है - इसमें हवा जाने और इसे हवा के संपर्क में रहने की ज़रूरत होती है। Cambrelle® बाहरी कवर के कारण ऐसा होता है, जिससे बटुए के तापमान की स्थिरता बढ़ जाती है। अपने हाथ के सामान या अपनी जेब में ले जाना संतोषजनक है।

FRIO® बटुए में संगृहीत इंसुलिन को रेफ़्रिजेरेटर में स्थानांतरित किया जा सकता है, जब उपलब्ध हो। FRIO® बटुए को रेफ़्रिजेरेटर में मत रखें क्योंकि इससे नुक़सान का जोखिम होगा। बटुए को फ़्रीजर में मत रखें क्योंकि इससे कपड़े को नुक़सान हो सकता है, क्योंकि जैल की नमी के कारण बटुआ फ़्रीजर के शेल्फ़ से चिपक जाएगा।

बाहर सुखाना, सफ़ाई और संग्रहण

जब इस्तेमाल में न हो, तो आंतरिक बटुए को बाहरी कवर से निकाल दें और इसे स्वाभाविक रूप से पूरी तरह सूखने दें जब तक कि जैल वापस क्रिस्टल रूप में न लौट जाए। क्रिस्टल को अलग-अलग रखने के लिए, सुखाने के समय बटुए को कभी-कभी हिलाएँ। टिप्पणी: सूखने में 2-4 हफ़्तों का समय लग सकता है, जो पर्यावरण-संबंधी जलवायु पर निर्भर करेगा।

सूखने की अवधि में तेज़ी लाने के लिए, विभिन्न तरीकों का इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है: 1) रेडिएटर या एयरिंग अलमारी जैसे गरमी के स्रोत के पास रखना; 2) अगर मौसम उपयुक्त है, तो बटुए को कपड़े की रस्सी पर लटकाना; 3) धूप की स्थिति खिड़की के फट्टे पर छोड़ देना; बीच-बीच में हिलाने से मदद मिलेगी। FRIO® बटुए को टंबल ड्रायर में मत डालें!

बटुए के बाहरी कवर को हल्के गरम पानी में बहुत हल्के डिटरजेंट का इस्तेमाल करके धोया जा सकता है। मुलायम बालों के ब्रश का इस्तेमाल करके भीतरी बटुए को चकाचक साफ़ किया जा सकता है (यानी मुलायम टूथब्रश या नाख़ूनों का ब्रश): ब्रश को हल्के साबुन पानी में डुबोएँ और बटुए को चकाचक साफ़ करें। इसके बाद आप बटुए को भीतर के क्रिस्टल को नुक़सान पहुँचाए बिना चलते पानी में धो सकते हैं। वैकल्पिक रूप से, आप बटुए को साफ़ करने के लिए गैर-ब्लीच बैक्टीरिया-रोधी सफ़ाई के स्प्रे या रसोईघर या बच्चे के काम आने वाले बैक्टीरिया-रोधी वाइप का इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं। FRIO® बटुए को वॉशिंग मशीन में मत डालें!

अगली बार इस्तेमाल करने तक FRIO® बटुए का सूखी जगह पर संग्रह करें।

ये निर्देश केवल मार्गदर्शन के लिए हैं। दुनिया भर में जलवायु और पर्यावरण की विविध स्थितियों के कारण, FRIO® बटुए स्थान के अनुसार अलग-अलग ढंग से प्रतिक्रिया करेंगे। अगर सक्रिय किया जाए और समझदारी से इस्तेमाल किया जाए, तो बटुए लंबे समय तक आपकी ज़रूरतें पूरी करते रहेंगे। समय बीतने के साथ, बटुए को पानी में डुबोने का समय बढ़ता रहेगा, लेकिन जब तक क्रिस्टल जैल में विस्तार करते रहेंगे तब तक बटुआ ठीक ढंग से काम करता रहेगा। जब क्रिस्टल विस्तार नहीं करेगा, तो बटुए को बदलने की ज़रूरत होगी।

WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing a FRÍO® travel wallet. Please take a few minutes to read this leaflet carefully, so that you understand how to use your FRÍO® wallet and how you can keep it working effectively over and over again.

FRÍO® TRAVEL WALLETS KEEP EYE DROP MEDICATION COOL AND SAFE EVEN IN HOT CLIMATES

FRÍO® travel wallets are supported by the International Glaucoma Association. Eye drop medication must be at the manufacturer’s recommended temperature before being placed in the wallet. Please check the manufacturer’s information leaflet for your specific medication.

The FRÍO® travel wallet is an evaporative cooling unit purposely designed to keep eye drop medication cool within safe temperatures of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) for 45 hours minimum, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F). The wallet can be 're-activated'/'topped-up' to provide continuous safe storage conditions for subsequent periods of 45 hours minimum.

Contents

Each FRÍO® travel wallet consists of three parts: 1) Cambrelle® outer cover; 2) inner FRÍO® wallet made of polycotton with panels containing crystals (non-toxic and non-flammable - Safety Data Sheet available if required); 3) waterproof nylon rip stop liner to protect bottle/medication label from moisture.

Instructions - Please Follow Carefully

Note: it is imperative that immersion time is strictly monitored and adhered to so that the correct amount of water is absorbed. Over-soaking renders the wallet unusable. Should this occur, the wallet must be allowed to dry naturally until it returns to a usable size.

1. Immerse the inner wallet containing the crystals in cold water and soak for the relevant time for the size of the wallet.

Eye Drop (1 Bottle) 2 minutes;

Eye Drop (3 Bottles) 5 minutes

2. Whilst soaking, gently manipulate the wallet to spread the crystals evenly throughout. The gel formed as a result of soaking should fill the panels but should not expand to the point where the panels become rigid. The activated wallet should remain pliable.

3. Leave the wallet to drain for 15-30 minutes to allow gel formed to absorb any excess moisture from the fabric (the panels will continue to expand slightly after removing from the water). Gently towel dry using a paper towel. Note: care should be taken when towel drying your FRÍO® wallet after immersion in water as there may be slight colour loss from the fabric of brightly coloured wallets.

4. When semi-dry to the touch, firstly place medication in the waterproof liner and then in activated wallet. Place the inner wallet in the outer cover.

For continuous safe storage the FRÍO® inner wallet should be re-immersed in water every 45 hours, or sooner if the quantity of gel reduces and starts to return to its crystal form, i.e. crystals can be felt in the panels. When in continuous use, subsequent immersion periods will be shorter as the crystals will be continuously in gel form.

Note: Eye Drop (1 Bottle) 1 minute;

Eye Drop (3 Bottles) 2-3 minutes.

DO NOT CARRY OR STORE IN AN AIRTIGHT OR WATERPROOF CONTAINER WHEN ACTIVATED

The FRÍO® travel wallet is an evaporative cooling unit - it needs to breathe and to be in contact with air. The Cambrelle® outer cover allows this to happen, enhancing the stability of the wallet’s temperature. Carrying in hand luggage or in your pocket is satisfactory.

Eye drop medication stored in the FRÍO® wallet can be transferred to a refrigerator when one is available. DO NOT place the FRÍO® wallet in a refrigerator for risk of damage. DO NOT place the wallet in a freezer as the fabric may become damaged due to moisture in the gel causing it to stick to the freezer shelving.

Drying Out, Cleaning and Storage

When not in use, remove the inner wallet from the outer cover and allow to completely dry out naturally until the gel returns to crystal form. To keep the crystals separate, give the wallet an occasional shake whilst drying out. Note: the drying out period can take 2-4 weeks depending on the environmental climate.

To accelerate the drying out period, various methods can be used: 1) place near a heat source such as a radiator or in an airing cupboard; 2) hang the wallet on a clothes line if the weather is suitable; 3) leave on a window sill in a sunny position; shaking at intervals will help. DO NOT PLACE THE FRÍO® WALLET IN A TUMBLE DRYER!

The outer cover of the wallet can be washed in warm water using a very mild detergent. The inner wallet can be spot cleaned by using a soft bristle brush (i.e. soft toothbrush or nail brush): dip the brush into slightly soapy water and spot clean the wallet. You can then rinse the wallet under running water without damaging the crystals inside. Alternatively, you can use a non-bleach anti-bacterial cleaning spray or an anti-bacterial kitchen or baby wipe to clean your wallet. DO NOT PLACE THE FRÍO® WALLET IN A WASHING MACHINE!

Store your FRÍO® wallet in a dry place until you next wish to use it.

These instructions are only a guide. Due to varying climatic and environmental conditions around the world, FRIO® wallets will respond differently according to location. If activated and used sensibly they will continue to respond to your needs over a long period of time. With age, the length of immersion time will increase but as long as the crystals expand into a gel the wallet will function properly. When the crystals fail to expand, the wallet will need to be replaced.

We recommend that the FRIO 'Extra Large' wallet is most suitable for transporting the GlucaGen® HypoKit. This is because the kit is packaged in a 3-D container, whereas the FRIO wallet is essentially 2-D.

FRÍO® wallets are made from anti-bacterial material, but occassionally can develop an odour or a mould formation if kept in an enclosed environment or in an area where they have little or no access to air circulation. It is also an indication that the wallet may not have been dried out correctly.

Please find below instructions for cleaning and drying out the wallets for your information and further assistance. Do not be concerned - mould is easily cleaned. Your medication is still safe as long as it is properly sealed.

The crystals are capable of absorbing 500 times their volume of water, therefore time restrictions are important otherwise the wallet may become over soaked and will have to be left to 'deactivate'/dry out, until the items can fit into the wallet.

If the wallet feels sticky, this means that at some stage the wallet has been over soaked causing the gel to force its way through the material. If this happens, you can - once it has dried - pick off the excess gel. Do not spread over the wallet by wiping off because this will just spread the gel further.

Over soaking can ruin the wallet. If it does not activate within the stated time you may need to purchase a new wallet.

If the wallet has been immersed in water for the recommended time and has swollen into a gel form then the wallet is functioning properly.

With age, the length of immersion time will increase but, as stated, as long as the crystals expand into a gel the wallet will function properly. You may need to immerse the wallet for longer, but keep an eye on the wallet so that it does not over-soak. When the crystals fail to expand, the wallet will need to be replaced.

The older the wallet, the longer it takes for the crystals in the panels of the wallet to absorb the water. In some cases, it can take up to 60 minutes.

If your wallet does not activate/swell at all, this means that the crystals are not working any longer and it is time to purchase a new one.

No, the wallet does not keep medication as cold as a 'fridge would (2-8°C (35.6-46.4°F)), but it does keep insulin cool within safe temperatures of 18-26°C (64.4-78.8°F) - room temperature - for 45 hours minimum, even in a constant environmental temperature of 37.8°C (100°F).

For users of medication other than insulin, we recommend that you check your specific medication's safe storage data/safe travel requirements with your GP, pharmacist or the manufacturer.
